Why I'm moving to Scotland

Hi, so it's my last day

here in Manchester in my lovely apartment.

Got to get packing, tidying, and sorting

stuff out today is what I'm gonna do. And

then I've got to go on the bus because I'm

moving to Scotland. So you might be

wondering, why am I moving to Scotland

instead of going back home? Well, I've

always been very interested in Scottish

history and the culture and the language,

and they've got some interesting things

there. They've got some mountains,

they've got a castle, and they also have a

sleeper train that you can take from

Edinburgh back down to London, which looks

fun. And I'm kind of bored with

Manchester. I feel like I've seen, I've

seen everything there is to see, and it's

time to move on, time to go somewhere new,

somewhere fresh, somewhere that is

exciting again, maybe. And as an avid fan

of traveling and the Scottish culture in

general, I I just had to go there given

the opportunity that I have right now.

One of my favorite movies is Braveheart

with Mel Gibson, William Wallace, and I

also want to get back in touch with

nature, do a bit of hiking. I hear that

Ben Nevis is a pretty nice mountain to

climb, and I've never really climbed a big

mountain before. It's not really climbing,

it's just walking up a steep incline. I

watched some YouTube videos about the

mountain, people going up it, and it looks

pretty easy. They're just walking up a

hill basically. So hopefully Scotland is a

bit more interesting than Manchester has

been.

Hello,

welcome back to a new Cooking with Daniel.

Today is my final lunch here and I thought

I'd show you what I've been eating

recently. Recently I've been really into

these vegan chicken burger things and

making salads with them. When I first

heard about plant-based meats, I thought

it sounded a bit disgusting, but actually

they taste really good. In fact, I would

even say they taste better than real meat.

And my favorite product from this company

has to be the spicy meat-free— meat-free

chicken fillet. They also have a meat-free

sausage which is also exquisite. One of

the main problems I had when it came to

cooking real meat was making sure the

middle of the meat was cooked thoroughly

and not raw. But when it comes to

preparing plant-based meat-free meats,

you don't really have to worry about that.

Actually, you could eat the thing raw

without even cooking it at all, and it

should be fine. So next, I like to get

some kale, sprinkle it with some salt,

and I have some olives, cucumbers as well.

I cook the kale for about 5 to 6 minutes

until it's crispy and golden brown, and

then I cook the chicken fillet for a bit

longer. And then you can see the middle of

the chicken fillet is made out of some

kind of spongy pea protein material. I

don't really know exactly what it is, but

it's very realistic. It's actually very

like— a lot like meat. So get your

meat-free plant-based chicken fillet for

only £2.99 at your nearest Aldi.

Okay, so I finished my lunch. Now I need

to get rid of a lot of stuff. I'm not

going to bring things like the kettle,

the spices, the pot, the plates, the

My last night in the city. Say goodbye to

Manchester. I can't believe I've

been here for 6 months now. The time goes

so fast.

Everything's packed. My bag's so heavy.

Look at this thing.

you say? Sorry, it'll be a second. Oh,

okay. Just fill this sheet up with your

kit.

Yep. And have

closing your bills? No, I'm still waiting

for a reply. Perfect. Yeah, do you just
